Pharrell - Best Friend (Album Version (Edited))(2006)

[00:01.74] Yeah, yep
[00:04.79] Spit my gum out right now, yeah
[00:09.14] What up world? Got my inspiration in the studio with me tonight, feelin' good
[00:15.81] Got a lot to smile about
[00:18.60] Talk to y'all niggas
[00:20.05] Yessir, hey
[00:23.92] My best friend say I'm bottled up, I need a fucking therapist
[00:27.52] But I can't think of nobody I wanna share this with
[00:29.84] Why should I open up on somebody else's carelessness...
[00:32.68] [Pop] there goes the top, nigga, so here it is
[00:35.44] Mama workin' all day, Daddy out in the streets
[00:38.48] Imagine 10 years old full of doubt and defeat
[00:41.14] Growing up around criminals, with clout and deceit
[00:44.14] My grandma Loucelle used to tell me, you about what you wheap
[00:46.79] She used to help me with my homework, addiction-subtraction
[00:49.39] Added faith to my life and doubt got subtracted
[00:51.65] Wanna skip ya mind from crying better learn something, son
[00:54.24] You be beatin' on my couches, why don't you try hit the drums?
[00:57.41] Look, oo you see me ma
[00:59.53] They wish they could be me ma
[01:00.46] As I got better, her body was eaten by Leukaemia
[01:03.65] Seventh grade, it was cursed and sad
[01:05.75] But the gift within it, was when I first met Chad
[01:08.91] But even Chad could tell you that my Christmas was jinxed
[01:11.06] Cause grandma Loucelle died on 12th 19th
[01:13.60] I can't help but wonder, what kind of black cloud I was under
[01:16.79] Cause 15 years later the other died that summer... bummer
[01:19.76] My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine
[01:22.08] But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind
[01:24.57] So let it out P (what), let it out P (what)
[01:26.92] Let it out P (what), let it out P (what)
[01:30.12] See, you won't even know you hurt sometimes
[01:32.97] Until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it
[01:35.46] Out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my nigga let it out
[01:41.04] Ayo, 10 21 Atlantis drive, nigga was action packed
[01:43.76] That's Atlantis apartments, we live in half the back
[01:46.11] That's where the 12 year olds there, they be flashing crack
[01:48.46] And when they shoot you nigga, they ain't tryna pass it back
[01:51.48] Aye yo, Didi, Fleet and Marvian can you imagine that?
[01:54.26] The place we love the most, the hood was built to smash us flat
[01:57.05] But I escaped cause I chased, what made me passionate
[01:59.73] Now I got my skate team and spit these acid raps
[02:02.94] So many niggas will rise
[02:05.50] So many them niggas try
[02:06.58] So many them niggas ended up duck-taped and tied
[02:08.14] So many them same niggas, man they moms eyes cry
[02:10.70] So, they just got older, still on the corner with they pride
[02:13.63] Well let me tell niggas something, I'm so glad you alive
[02:16.68] Long as you got a breath, a pulse, nigga strive
[02:19.21] Divine intervention this is
[02:22.06] I heard a voice nigga, listen to this
[02:23.96] My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine
[02:27.56] But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind
[02:29.93] So let it out P (what), let it out P (what)
[02:32.96] Let it out P (what), let it out P (what)
[02:35.83] See, you won't even know you hurt sometimes
[02:38.62] Until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it
[02:41.04] Out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my nigga let it out
[02:46.80] Jesus will arrange it, but Jesus won't change it
[02:49.50] Hold yourself responsible, on yourself you blame it
[02:52.31] You mad, nigga don't articulate in Sanskrit
[02:54.92] I.E. we best friends, speak best friend language
[02:57.63] I'm a happy nigga, you can't approach me in anguish
[03:00.29] Whoever said anything worth working for would be painless?
[03:02.88] Can't be mad at the world cause you and your girl ain't famous
[03:05.37] Cause you both on Bape, BBC and chain-less
[03:07.95] Also you're Range-less, therefore switch lane-less
[03:11.10] Now you brainless, dangerous, cause you pull out the stainless
[03:13.93] All of sudden you smart, now you do something heinous
[03:16.44] First time you get caught, now your ass is famous
[03:19.06] No longer chain-less, and the bus switching lanes is a bad look
[03:22.69] Yo girl with ya man sellin' lane-less, stop
[03:25.28] Nigga rewind and reverse slides 3 times
[03:27.50] Reassess your thinking and trust me it'll be fine
[03:30.59] First picture your goal, and repeat 'It'll be mine'
[03:34.56] Or fuck it nigga, just keep imagine killin' me fine
[03:35.84] Now you, scrunching your face tryna ace attainment
[03:38.69] When you should be tryna find a place to base your shame, nigga
[03:41.49] Success is tangible, don't wait for fame
[03:43.73] I thought you would receive it better if I ain't say ya name
[03:46.50] You unsure of yourself, sit still and think
[03:49.36] Review those actions if it fit, put your name in the blank
[03:51.89] My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine
[03:54.77] But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind
[03:57.29] So let it out P (what), let it out P (what)
[04:00.24] Let it out P (what), let it out P (what)
[04:02.80] See, you won't even know you hurt sometimes
[04:05.81] Until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it
[04:08.69] Out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my nigga let it out
[04:13.91] Star Trak, is who we are
[04:19.32] Star Trak, is who we are, ooh

[04:36.55]
